Head to our project page to discover more about our project to safeguard the church and remove it from the Heritage at Risk Register, improve its facilities, and engage more people with its history and heritage, getting it back in great shape to serve God, the parish and the community here at the heart of London.

Proposed Works

SGTM is proud to be working with a range of specialist consultants including Roger Mears Architects, Headland Design, Back Row, Azure Oxford, Leah Harrison Bailey Limited, Oculus Management, and a range of local organizations, to carry out this ambitious project. The proposed works are set to make a lasting impact by:

• delivering urgent repair and conservation works to preserve this historically significant church, including its important Hawksmoor ceiling and enable its removal from the Heritage at Risk Register

• transforming underutilised spaces to further develop the church as welcoming, active and inclusive

• delivering sustainability by renewing heating, lighting and AV systems to make the church a flexible space that can be enjoyed in a variety of ways, increasing its impact culturally, commercially and for the community 

• animating the church to further develop it as a resource for local residents and workforce, users of local health institutions and visitors to the area

• sharing the church’s wonderful history and the untold stories of the fascinating people associated with it

Current progress and next steps

In this development phase of the project, which runs to early 2027, we’ll work with architects, surveyors and community consultants to plan the conservation work, design the new facilities, develop our community activities and events programming, and develop a business plan.

These designs and plans will form the basis of our £3.5m Delivery Phase Grant Application to the Heritage Fund in Spring 2027 and if approved, we’ll move to the Delivery Phase in Summer 2027 with work completing in Winter 2029/30.
